Engaging STEM Learning Tool – Encourages experimentation, problem-solving, and innovation in earthquake engineering and disaster preparedness studies.
Bring real-world engineering challenges into the classroom with the United Scientific® Earthquake Shake Table. Designed for physics, earth science, and engineering experiments, this robust demonstration tool helps students explore the effects of seismic activity on structural integrity. By simulating earthquake vibrations, learners can test different tower and building designs, compare results, and understand the importance of earthquake-resistant architecture.
The shake table features a 16" x 16" base supported by four heavy-duty springs at each corner for realistic motion. Adjustable mountings hold a variety of tower bases (up to 12" per side), while two included C-clamps secure the unit firmly to any lab table. Underneath, dual DC motors generate reliable, consistent vibrations, safely enclosed with a protective cage for classroom safety. Students can run the motors individually or together using a 1–5V DC power supply (not included), or manually shake the base for more dynamic movement.
Perfect for STEM education, structural engineering experiments, and earthquake preparedness studies, this demonstration apparatus provides a hands-on way to investigate horizontal and vertical vibrations while testing innovative building designs.
